Maximum covalency of an element of atomic number 7 is

Question

Maximum covalency of an element of atomic number 7 is (A) 4 (B) 2 (C) 5 (D) 3.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The electronic configuration, of an element of atomic number 7, is 1s2 2s2 2p2x, 2p1y 2p1z. Thus the valency shell is second principal shell which has only four orbitals. Therefore the element can form maximum of four covalent bonds. Thus the covalency is 4.
